Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Change post fonts to match websiteGreetings,
Does your theme include a custom css feature? ie is there a menu item for it within your dashboard? Perhaps under appearance > customize ? or perhaps appearance > theme options ?
If not you can install the jetpack plugin and activate the custom css feature there.
Yes it is possible to modify any of the fonts. In general, you’ll need to learn how to analyze existing css code using browser developer tools. and how to write new custom css code that will take precedence over the existing code. Here is a reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#CSS_Resources
Re the bonus question, that will be most easy without the plugin once you learn some css
Good Luck

In reply to: /wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 363Greetings:
Have you tried deactivate all plugins and switch to the default theme twentyFifteen? To see if the error is caused by a plugin or your theme? If the error goes away, activate plugins one at a time to find which one causes the problem.
Also, have you verified the .htaccess file is properly created and mod_rewrite is enabled? https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite
Good Luck!

In reply to: Folder structure under the 'Media Library'Greetings:
Usually it’s best to allow WordPress to set up the folder structure. And you should find you are able to do what you need via the media library front end. Here is additional information: https://codex.wordpress.org/Media_Library_Screen

In reply to: Forgotten my URL to login into WordPressHey Ricki
Do you know your website address? Usually for the login, just append /wp-admin … like this: http://example.com/wp-adminForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: 2015 Theme Home Page Sticky Post Background GraphicLooks like TwentyFourteen to me. I didn’t find the code for the striped area either. I think it’s the space available for a third sticky post. You could try create one. And maybe leave the title and content blank if you really don’t want it.
The code I gave should remove just the linked words “Proudly powered…” from the normal Twentyfifteen footer
For the entire normal footer it should be
.site-info {display:none;}or maybe
.site-footer {display:none;}It appears you also have some “infinite footer” perhaps from a plugin? , you could maybe deactivate that. Or use css code
#infinite-footer {display:none;}Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: onetone Theme's Child Theme CSS vs. Custom CSSAnd do you know if css entered in the “custom css” filed will remain intact after a theme update?
Yes, that usually is the case.
when I try to put the same css into my own child-theme style.css and enqueue it the same way I’ve enqueued for another wp site, nothing happens.
Here is a few lines from the child theme reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Your child theme’s stylesheet will usually be loaded automatically. If it is not, you will need to enqueue it as well. Setting ‘parent-style’ as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it.

In reply to: [Twenty Fifteen] twenty fifteen headerOne wide screens the header should be at the left side. On narrow screens, tablets and phones the header should be at the top. Are you using two different size screens?
How you input your header images? Do you use theme customizer tool? or some other method?

In reply to: Changing directory now cannot get into adminThe cpanel scripted install is a likely bad idea given the various manipulations that already have occurred manually. And given the fact there are some good parts must not be overwritten.
My instructions above included nothing about running install.php nor creating a new database so there’s now some more new issues in play on top of everything else. Looking back, I could have been more clear. Not to worry, I’ve been through this manual repair literally hundreds of times. We can recover so long as your posts are present in the dashboard.
When I address im.mikediane.com I get the same language selection screen Jackie described. It think it means the erroneous install.php still is attempting to finish.
I’m going to suggest no further modifications whatsoever until we can get together synchronously for perhaps a 30 minute period, I’m on UTC-4, posting this at 0850 Sat, available now for a short while…
@pwdiane if you write @santeven in a new forum post I’ll get an email on my phone and try to check in if I’m near my workstation

In reply to: Changing directory now cannot get into adminThanks again Diane, I appreciate your gracious consideration for the other forum volunteers. Myself, I guess I tend to get abruptly to the point when I sense the least little deviation.
Yes the “resurrection” will have to involve resetting the two database options, but they depend on file and folder structure so that has to be repaired first. And begining with the core, then the /wp-content/ , then the /wp-content/* uploads, plugins and themes.
I think it’s going to be really easy at this point:
- Delete everything except /wp-content from the root. if /wp-content is present, rename it to /wp-content.old
- install to the root a brand new wordpress core as per the manual installation procedure.
- move the /wp/wp-config.php and /wp/.htaccess to the root
- move all the contents files and folders of /wp/wp-content/* into the new core /wp-content/. If there is no /wp/wp-content/* contents , likely find them in /wp-content.old/* … maybe check this first before deleting anything at all, ie where are the uploads, themes, and plugins?
- remove the options settings from functions.php
- put proper options directly into database instead, these both will be http://im.mikediane.com as we have rebuilt the site in the root which was Diane’s intention that started this thread in the first place.
I think that is it.
Why don’t you and @radices tell us if you think this makes sense and if there’s anything missing?
You are welcome, Thanks for the followup re: $args = $post_id;
